What Lichess rapid rating does 2250 tactics lichess rating translate to ?

@TripHopKniGHts and @Meriten That's a high tactics number! I was around 1600 elo (so about 1850 lichess) when I had 2000 tactics. Now I'm at 2250 tactics and I feel like I've improved a tad.

Depends on how long it takes you to solve puzzles. With your tactics rating we can just deduce that you are between 1000 elo and 2500 elo in rapid.

On the longer side usually, idk I take my time, maybe 5-10 minutes for the 2250 ones? How long does it take you for example?

10-30s, beyond that and when I don't see the correct move I just play randomly

Sometimes I can solve a 2400 puzzle in a minute or 2... and sometimes I spend 20 minutes on a 2100 puzzle. In a game you don’t know a tactic exists in any given position and sometimes you miss a simple fork cause you are preoccupied with other aspects of the game like perceived threats...control of center...stopping a passed pawn advancing toward promotion...etc.

That's impressive but I think you should be taking more time. I could be mistaken on this and different things work for different people.

I personally aim for the highest success rate so I think about the tactic until I seem to find the solution... As @TripHopKniGHts says above, sometimes it take a minute and sometimes 20 minutes

Happens to me all the time hehe

I bang my head sometimes how I miss the simplest of tactics. Guess thats normal though :p

@Puzzleandlearning ___ I think chess is more about managing ones emotions and keeping a cool head than anything else... if you have a cool head you can see the whole position and find the best move. Just the other day I played a tactic that would have sniped my opponents rook in the corner with my bishop... after initiating the tactic I decided not to take the rook because my opponent would have established a Knight outpost on the third rank, ( I was white pieces. ) I became preoccupied with preventing the Knight outpost even though it posed no immediate threat. Fear clouded judgement. The Knight outpost would have been held by an isolated pawn on the Queen side... my king was castled King side and I would have been able to kick that Knight out in a few moves. But I hate Knight posts on my third rank with the White pieces... so I reacted dumbly instead of thinking things out in a cool manner.

I think this one also ties into positional and tactical understanding. I can feel you felt uncertain about your position (possible tactics etc.) or overfocused on one element/feature of the position. Sometimes there is just one key thing in the position, which it revolves around (in this case - the knight outpost) but the majority of the time there are many things which compose the complexities of the position and then there is also counterplay. You rarely will prevent every threath from your opponent, but you have to see if you maybe have something even better or some threath at least (speaking longterm). The fear you're talking about comes IMHO from an insufficient positional understanding. As we get better at chess, we will have more understanding thus we won't let fear overtake us in tense positions where we are actually better ... if that makes sense.

@Puzzleandlearning ... You may have something there... my positional understanding is probably Beginner to intermediate level... it is a patch work understanding. I have looked through and played through Karpov, Petrosian, and Capablanca games... I know about the basics of Positional play, but it does not equal understanding... the positional Masters know how to formulate a plan and see it through... they can think strategically and many moves ahead. I only think 2 or 4 moves ahead at best. And they are experts at positional analysis.
